Ideas Freshly Leaked From My Mind

Science Fiction Dreaming

If you paid attention to any science, science fiction, or technology blog last week, you know that the design of the Alcubierre Drive has been tweaked into feasibility. This means that there could be one day be interstellar ships that fold space. I would love to captain one of those. I’m not thinking Star Trek and alien contact, I’m thinking manned exploration and colonization of other planets outside of our solar system. People talk Alpha Centuri, I think Zarmina in the Gilese system and its neighbor.
Imagine leaving politics of earth behind and dealing with the smaller scale issues of a settlement. Seeing what no one else has seen and founding something new. That would be awesome in the truest sense.
